There are different forms to fill depending on whether you are applying for a Freedom pass for a disability or due to age.

      Once you have filled in the forms, take them to your local post office along with proof of identity, age and address. These proofs can come from documents including a current passport, a letter of your pension entitlement, a medical or a birth certificate, provided your name hasn't been changed. As proof of address you can show a recent utility bill, a current television license or a council tax letter or bill.
